Math for Kids, the fourth book of The Kitchen Pantry Scientist series, brings math to life through biography and creative engagement.Go beyond counting. Solve puzzles, learn a magic trick, and play a ton of games.This engaging guide offers a series of snapshots of 20+ mathematicians, from ancient history through today, paired with related hands-on projects perfect for a kitchen or a classroom. Each lab tells the story of a mathematician along with some background about the importance of their work, and a description of where it is still being used or reflected in today’s world.A step-by-step illustrated game or activity paired with each story offers kids an opportunity to engage directly with concepts the mathematicians pursued, or are working on today. Experiments range from very simple projects using materials you probably already have on hand, to more complicated ones that may require a few inexpensive items you can purchase online. Just a few of the incredible people and scientific concepts you’ll explore:Hypatia (b. ~350–370)Square WheelsFlorence Nightingale (b. 1820)Pizza Pie ChartsEmmy Noether (b. 1882)Fabulous Folding FlexagonsRon Graham (b. 1935)Fibbonacci SpiralFan Chung (b. 1949)Corners and Edges and Faces! Oh my!With this fascinating, hands-on exploration of the history of mathematics, inspire the next generation of great mathematicians. Dig into even more incredible science history from The Kitchen Pantry Scientist series with: Chemistry for Kids, Biology for Kids, Physics for Kids, and Ecology for Kids.

Make learning about math fun for kids with these hands-on activities that include drawing and building shapes, solving puzzles, and playing games.Math is the foundation of all sciences and key to understanding the world around us. Based on the best-selling Math Games Lab for Kids, Super Fun Math Games for Kids engages kids with exciting projects that build these critical math skills. They will have a blast:Exploring geometry and topology by making prisms, antiprisms, Platonic solids, and Möbius strips.Building logic skills by playing and strategizing through tangrams, toothpick puzzles, and the game of Nim.Drawing and charting graphs to learn the language of connections.Discovering how to color maps like a mathematician by using the fewest colors possible.Creating mind bending fractals with straight lines and repeat shapes.Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels.Everything you need to complete the activities can be found in the book or around the house. Learn to think like a mathematician—see how much you’ll discover!
